Official Wedding Attire Question/Answer/Picture Thread - Page 58

Thanks so much for the feedback fellas, really helpful. I spent another 2 days looking around on the web and B&M stores. I found some Perry Ellis suits that fit well but were polyester blends. I found a few at Sacks but no vests. :(

I measure 39 Reg and 33x32 so I ordered a 38R and a 40R jacket. I also ordered 32x34 and 34x34 pants. I figured I would then try them all on and take all the separates to the tailor and go from there. I really hope I liked the fabric and fit as I know you can't really get a 'feel' for a suit over the internet. I am going off of a few reviews that mention Alfani Red as being one of the better budget wool suits. I am more happy with the color as it is more of a true med grey.

I feel like this is my best shot. I will keep looking around while I wait for these pieces to ship.

Due to the quick and helpful replies I can see my self posting my whole outfit shopping experience on here!

While this may not get much love on Styleforum, it's a good option for your budget and time frame. At that price, definitely spend the money to take it to a tailor and get it to fit as well as possible.

It’s a daytime wedding in Spring, but the event will take me thorugh to the evening reception. The event itself will not be formal. The ceremony is outdoors, at a city rooftop Art-Deco terrace and cigar bar. Think wicker and timber seating, shrubbery, and black/white check tiling. Dress code for guests is Lounge Suit. The Reception is in an inner-city urban warehouse (http://bit.ly/17FGGfF).

Overall it will be a very relaxed and playful event. As such I’m looking to add a bit of outdoor, sporting playfulness to a cocktail look. I like to mix fabrics, so am thinking a linen bow tie, could relax the outfit a little.

I'm prepping for my own wedding and I went with the very reasonably priced Tux from Suit Supply. I would like to wear a white ("backless" vest but have not had any luck finding any besides Brooks Brothers. Any tips on where I can find one?. I unfortunately do not have time for a custom design since my wedding is only 2 weeks away.

While I was at SS, I purchased their Tuxedo Shirt but I'm not 100% intent on keeping it. Any suggestions on a slim-fit tuxedo shirt with a bib? I personally do not love ribs/ruffles.

Any info is greatly appreciated ! Thanks

Regarding the shirt, Charles Tyrwhitt offers a piqué bib instead of a ruffled one. It is available in their slim-fit line, which should get you close. You may still need to have a tailor take it in a little. Are you going wing or turn-down collar?

I will check this out, thank you. One of the benefits to being here in NYC was that I was able to stop by the Kamakura store and I tried on their formal shirt.

Despite my hesitation on pleats, I did like this one. http://shop.kamakurashirts.com/goods_en_usd_452.html My only complaint is the arm holes were slightly smaller than I needed causing a being of wrinkling around the shoulders that would not be visible with my dinner suit jacket on. Any thoughts on this one?

I think it is 'ok' but not exactly what I am looking for. I would prefer a solid or textured fabric as I think the stripes are a bit strong. I have read a few people say that you can't find much better for $300-$400.

I have read that their quality has gone down as prices have risen and it is a little light for a Oct. wedding so I'm not set on it. I looked at Suit Supply but they didn't carry anything that matches what I am looking for. I have been scouring the internet for maybe a Ralph Lauren or Hugo Boss but nothing vested. Ebay hasn't been of much help.

I am open to suggestions and feedback as I am still a suit noob but I got a good eye and pay great attention to detail as I am an artist.

Thanks a ton!

When my wedding is over and done with next month I will be so glad to stop hearing my fiancée say the term "our colors." I keep saying to her "we are not a sports team, we don't have to follow a uniform." She doesn't listen. I still haven't learned to bite my tongue.....

Tell me about it, man. "What do you mean you don't want to wear a purple tie, purple pocket square, purple boutonniere, and purple socks?" Um, I don't want to look like a clown.

The latest battle is that she wants to make boutonnieres out of preserved baby's breath covered in glitter. The glitter gets EVERYWHERE. Looks like Tinkerbell went crazy in my apartment. No glitter on me or my groomsmen, please. I am not biting my tongue on this one.
